      Why does map design care about exp model?
     
     
Maps *contain* experience.

So how much exp should I add on my new "Great Dragon of Chaos"?
1 million or 20 million? - Depends on how much the experience is
worth in the model of course.
If a level 100 player gains 3 levels for killing it, that was too
much. But if a level 60 player gains only 1 level that might be okay.

That is of minor importance. Generally maps shouldn't contain
sudden severe changes of difficulty. Most maps follow that rule.
